Multiple Dove-Award winning rapper and Guinness World Record holder for Freestyle Rapping Jonah Sorrentino, (aka KJ-52) has released his first independent album, Jonah, after reaching over 200% of his Pledgemusic goal. After ten full-length label releases and (number) albums sold, the Florida-based artist has elected to release this, his most personal work, directly to fans himself.

He explains, “I’m coming off two years of the hardest choices I’ve faced financially, spiritually and career-wise. I feel renewed from a creative stand point and feel like I’m in the best place Ive been in years. My workload has doubled but my passion for what I do is 7000 times higher.”

True to the precedent he set very early in his career, KJ presents spiritual truth with clever rhymes, from a unique perspective. Only this time he does it with a vulnerability previously unheard. And at the core is one central message: a higher power will go before you, through all stages of life, through every up and down, if you are willing to believe.

“The best way to describe Jonah, is like this: Take an old trusty Macbook Pro (thats me), and add several current software updates. This album is a transparent look at my life, looking back, looking forward and looking inward. It’s everything my fans love about me in an updated package.”

Jonah is available wherever digital music is sold. KJ-52 has been nominated for sixteen Dove Awards, winning six. He has toured with/opened for some of the biggest names in hip-hop, politics, entertainment, and culture. He is best known for the personal song written to Eminem, “Dear Slim” (as featured on MTV and VH1), Sorrentino is now booking dates at festivals, colleges, churches, and clubs worldwide. His first single, “Hold On (featuring Curt Anderson) is set to impact Rock and CHR Formats January 27, 2017.

Don’t let the dark shades and black beard fool you. Brinson is not trying to disguise anything. In fact, he’s trying to do the opposite – share the innermost parts of himself through hip hop.

Such transparency often manifests itself in songs about his love for Jesus and those in his community. It will also be revealed in heart-gripping tales like “Shoulda Told ‘Em” or “Breaking Down” where the author exposes his regrets and honest emotions.

But there’s raw energy in his rhymes too. Brinson is not afraid to make bold statements (“Don’t Rap No More”) or simply share the joy of a life that has been made pure and free in the sight of the Savior.

His passions are backed by over a decade of experience and training as an ordained minister and studies in the renowned Music Business Program at Belmont University in Nashville, TN. He is a 2011 graduate of the SOMMET Ministry School, has traveled and performed his music on international stages, and was recognized as an Honoree at Atlanta’s Holy Hip Hop Awards.

It all led to his founding of GodChaserz Entertainment (GCE) which has since released over 20 Christ-centered hip hop albums by a roster of artists designed to inspire, uplift, and entertain. The works of Brinson and his GCE family have been covered by various media outlets including ESPN.com, NPR, MTV, S.O.U.L. Magazine, DaSouth.com, The Houston Chronicle, The Wade-O Radio Show and Rapzilla.com.

In 2012, the company partnered with Syntax Distribution for the release of his No Other Heroes album and saw videos for their releases featured on national television stations such as JCTV, GMC, and WayTV.

In short, Brinson is a rapper less concerned with outside appearances than with the positive change that can occur underneath
